During 10 months, a writer wrote 5 children’s books. If each book took the same amount of time to write, how long did the writer take to write each book?
The writer took two months to write each book.
Explain
really?
10mo/5book = 2 mo/book
To find out how long the writer took to write each book, we need to divide the total time spent writing all the books by the number of books written.
In this case, the writer wrote 5 children's books in 10 months. To calculate the time it took to write each book, divide the total time of 10 months by the number of books, which is 5.
So, 10 months divided by 5 books equals 2 months per book.
Therefore, the writer took 2 months to write each book.
